Arrowhead Game Studios' fan-favorite co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has come a long, long way since its launch in early 2024 two years ago, with the developer adding tons of new weapons, armors, stratagem call-ins, and more to the player's arsenal, along with an entirely new enemy faction in the Illuminate as well as sub-factions, fresh enemy types, and mission objectives to the Terminid and Automaton fronts.
Indeed, it's been a huge live-service success story across PC, PS5, and now Xbox; it's consistently a top-selling title (at the time of writing it's the best-selling paid game on Steam, surpassing even ARC Raiders) and maintains a healthy community of concurrent players. And as game director Mikael Eriksson has confirmed amidst prep for the imminent Battle of Cyberstan that begins on February 10 with the Machinery of Oppression update, the devs don't intend to stop growing it any time soon.
